Hi, I'm new here. I'm 24 years old, married, am a sub teacher and have a L.O.N.G. way to go on my weight-loss journey. Here we go! -Jenn

Hi everyone,

I'm new here and I'm finding it helpful already, but I would love to find a buddy. I'm a 43, from New Jersey, and I would like to lose about 40 pounds.

Thanks!

Hello,
I'm Natasha. I'm 19 and I need to lose a lot of weight and keep it off for good. I'm here in hopes to learn and lose.

So hi

Hello, hello

I just joined this community. Once again I'm trying to be serious about my weight loss because...one day earlier this week I realized that an old pair of size 16 shorts that I found in the back of my closet were starting to feel a bit snug. What a shocker! I was a size 4 just five years ago!

cheers everyone and good luck!

I just joined today! One more step in the right direction. I went to the a dietitian yesterday because I decided it was time to stop making excuses and take responsibility for my health, body image and self-esteem.

My goal is simple....to feel GOOD about myself. I have gotten to a point where I call myself fat and ugly EVERY single day. So I am making the first steps to heal myself because nobody else can do it for me.

So...I'm here, I'm excited and I'm soooo ready.

Hi my name is Lori and I'm joining here so that I can get some extra support. I'm at my heaviest right now and it's starting to depress me. I'm making an oath to start today on my weight loss journey.

I want to lose at least 80 pounds. I'm really looking forward to meeting all of you and being a part of your journey with you all.

Hi all! I'm Sandi and I'm a stay-at-home mom of 2 toddler boys. I've been working on this weight loss since January. I started out at 273 and am down to 225. My goal is 165. In the past month I've hit a wall. My thyroid is not working right and had to go on meds for it. Hopefully my weight will start coming off again but I'm needing some extra encouragment to keep going because lately things seem hopeless. Hope I can chat and make friends in here that understands what I'm going through. Thanks!

Hi All! I am a 30 year old mother of two (age 8 and 5). I am happily married to my high school sweetheart. However like many of you, I have struggled with weight most of my life. I have been married for 10 years now and I have gained almost 100 pounds since then. I have been successful at loosing weight in the past but recently, I have only gained weight. I have gotten a new high stress job this last year (I'm a social worker) and it has taken its toll.... I need some help and guidance to get straight and I am crossing my fingers and hoping that the accountablity of a forum will keep me straight. I have been down this road so many times, I hesitate to tell anyone even my husband that I am going to try again... So I'll start with you guys and hope that it all goes well..

Heres to a new beginning!! CHEERS!
